CSX Headquarters to get New Signage

[Keith-N-Jax]

Saw it lit up this morning. I like it.

It looks a lot better lit up at night than it does during the day.

Railroads.  200 year old technology making a big comeback thanks to the great minds in government.

You've obviously never been on one of the Asian or European high-speed trains.  The base technology might be 200 years old, but it's sort of like saying the internet is nothing but the telegraph 200 years later.

Here is an interview with Michael Ward, CEO of CSX:

How in the world did you find that web site?  I've seen translation web sites before, but Morse Code - English!  Neat!  Useless, but neat.

[BridgeTroll]

Aint Google great? 

[CS Foltz]

I have forgotten most, maybe even all of my "Flashing Light" & Morse Code........dih dot! That would be "R" for roger! Your right BridgeTroll...........beats the hell out of trying to look something up from a book and one heck of alot quicker! As long as you get the Search Work/Phrase correct!

Enough of beating around the bush; when is CSX going to build that new 901 foot, 70 story building downtown? They have lots of money, they're doing extremely well, and, they've got to be tired of the present corporate home office building they are now in on the river!

^They'll move to the Southside before they build a new tower downtown.  If anything, it seems the days of consolidating all of your corporate operations into a single site are over.  Technology is evolving to the point to where many people don't even have to go into the office on a daily basis anymore.

Yeah, I know; but it sure would be nice. I guess residential towers, consolidated with hotels and even offices in them are the next tower trends in urban cores.

CSX already has a large presence in Southpoint. They occupy two buildings.

[stjr]

Maybe they will move the HQ to McDuff and Beaver where they have their "roundhouse" control center.

Now that would be impressive!

I rode the train round trip from Rome to Florence about 5 years ago.  It was nice and convenient but isn't the future of inter-city travel over 200 miles going to be by air?  It may not be as pleasant but I'll bet it will be faster and cheaper (for passengers and taxpayers).  Rail requires so much more infrastructure.

not sure I agree...how much do airports cost these days?  I mean, Atlanta just spent over $1 billion building their 5th runway!
